Well, the comparison is not really fair, Rails is a framework for building webapp, whereas Go is a language with a standard library.
To simplify a bit: Go is in the same bag as C++/C#/Java, Rails is in the same bag as PHP & [Symfony/Laravel].
If you're mass building CRUD web applications against customers requirements then, clearly, RoR is the best tool for the job (versus Golang).

- bpizzi 8y agoI literally said 'Rails is a framework for building webapp, whereas Go is a language with a standard library'. what's your point?
- sixstringtheory 8y agoThey moved PHP from framework to language, it’s a small nit but worth picking I suppose.
- lowercased 8y agoRuby is a language distinct from the Rails framework. PHP is a language distinct from the other frameworks listed. Small nitpick, but I always hate to see conflation of languages and frameworks when making comparisons.
- bpizzi 8y agoFor the record, I was not confusing anything here, it was you thinking that I was first listing languages then frameworks, which was not the case.
